Meet the newest member of the NCGA, Graig Meyer, NC House District 50. Live at 8:30 am Here is the SHOW
The Orange and Durham County Democratic Parties appointed Graig Meyer to fill the District 50 N.C. House of Representatives seat left vacant by new state Sen. Valerie Foushee. After two rounds of voting, the four-person selection committee — composed of two representatives from each county’s party — selected Meyer. Votes were split among five of the seven candidates in the first round of voting, and members gave Meyer unanimous backing in the second round.
Meyer, the director of student equity and volunteer services for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, will serve the remainder of Foushee’s term, which will last a little more than a year. The N.C. General Assembly will convene again in May for the short session.
